    Hudson School Board Requests for Alvirne Trusteesby Len Lathrop

    At the Hudson School Board meeting of April 18, a request to the Alvirne Trustees was included in a meeting attachment. The Alvirne trust was formed and funded when the last will and testament of Dr. Alfred K. Hills was probated by the New Hampshire Supreme Court in 1950. In a settlement agreement after a year of contested court cases, the high school was formed and the property was given to the school district. With monetary funds, the trust was then established. This private trust fund is to be used only at Alvirne High School and is administered by the Alvirne trustees; they have the fi nal say as to how any of the funds are spent.

    Other members of the Hills Family provided revenue to this trust thought their estates.

    Every year the school board requests money for certain events, activities, equipment purchases or building repair and improvements at the high school. These funds are in addition to the operating budget provided to the school district from property taxes.Primary Priority RequestsClassroom Mini Theater Remodel ($65,000 - submitted by Jen LaFrance):

    Room 311 is a tiered classroom with a mini stage at the front of the room. This request would remodel the classroom space with new paint, fl ooring trim, ceiling and lighting to create a brighter environment. Additionally, the installation of new equipment would include auditorium seating, a sound and multimedia component, and stage lighting. The room would continue to be used a traditional classroom to include supporting Humanities and English classes and would become a great presentation location for guest speakers in all content areas of our school, especially on block days. Finally, the renovated space would become a prime drama location for small productions as it will very comfortably seat 65 people.Special Education ($9,818 - submitted by Sheri Lavoie) and Social Studies Chromebooks ($8,181 - submitted by Jeff Peterson):

    Adding current technology to the special education and social studies classrooms would enhance teaching and learning. Chromebooks have been very well received in other department areas due to their portability and ease of operation. The Social Studies Department is requesting a mobile Chromebook lab to allow students to research historical and geographical sites, as well to coincide with the GPS technology currently used. Special education will use them to assist students within their Directed Studies for research and assignment completion.Studio 19 Equipment Upgrade ($11,494 - submitted by Lauren Denis):

    After consulting with the Nashua South Media Production class instructor as well as with Jim Mcintosh and Michael OKeefe from HCTV, the request is to improve computer editing and camera technology, as well as upgrade the schools program, Studio 19. The goal for next year is that every classroom be able to view the morning announcement program through the Internet and/or TV. Also, another show would be added by creating longer pieces that can air during study halls, before and after school, and on HCTV.Farm Equipment ($7,000 - submitted by Emery Nadeau):

    Hay production continues to increase yearly. This request provides an additional hay wagon to make the haying process more effi cient which will reduce labor costs. The feeder allows the cow herd feed to remain outside in the good weather months.Physics Probeware Request ($10,844 - submitted by Jennifer Oquist):

    Probeware is scientifi c equipment consisting of sensors that connect to a computer to collect, interpret, and analyze data in real-time. Probeware adds several advantages to traditional labs; students are able to make more precise and accurate measurements. Less time is generally needed for data collection, which allows students to make repeated trials to verify their results. Probeware software generates tables and graphs in real time so students receive immediate feedback and can more quickly make connections between the data they collect and the phenomena they are observing. To summarize, there are three main reasons to add this technology: improving the student lab experience, increasing student preparation for college, and meeting state and national science standards.Library Furnishings:

    With the beautiful renovation that was done on the library, window treatments would complete the aesthetics.Facility Requests ($35,000 - submitted by Steve Beals):

    Landscaping will include cleaning up the areas around the staircase to the lower parking lot as well as the teacher entrance area inside the fence. Remaining money will enhance the main entrance area to possibly include raised plant gardens and safety separation from vehicle traffi c to the main entrance door.

    The request to repair and paint the existing roof cupola of the building would include securing the window areas with protection to prevent unwanted animals from entering the attic space. The cupola has likely not had any signifi cant restoration since the fi re.Drama and Music ($3,200 - submitted by Jen LaFrance):

    This is a request to purchase a four-person wireless intercom system. Such a system is invaluable to the technical crew who

    support the various music and theatre performances. This will provide communication between the people managing the event from backstage and the classrooms in the math wing, as well as those running light and sound tables in the gym.Co-Curricular Transportation ($12,000 - submitted by Steve Beals):

    This is an annual request to help defray the cost of competition fees or travel for groups needing assistance.Secondary PrioritiesMac Lab and MS Offi ce Request ($36,690 - submitted by Jacquie Michaud):

    The Mac Lab in AHS 308 was designed to give a leg up to students who will eventually want to work in the competitive digital communication fi eld. The lab was last updated in 2008 with iMacs running OS X v10.5 (Leopard), the most up-to-date operating system at that time. Apple has released four additional generations of operating systems since 2008. Many of the programs taught in the lab have also had updates that are not compatible with the current equipment. The request is for upgrades to the equipment to keep it current and working well for students.

    Offi ce 2007 software is currently being run in the business and computer classes. This puts Alvirne students at a disadvantage in this competitive market both in their post-secondary educational environment as well as in the slow job market. Alvirne High School is also in danger of losing a Dual Enrollment agreement with Southern New Hampshire University; this agreement allows students to receive up to six fully transferrable college credits for completing the Multimedia program at Alvirne. The 70 license upgrades being requested will allow Alvirne to keep this Dual Enrollment agreement as well as keep software current for students.Family Consumer Science Remodel ($40,000 - submitted by Joan Blanchard):

    While the Family and Consumer Science program has undergone many changes over the past 35 years, the facility has lagged behind. The room used for all of the courses in this department is badly in need of repair and updating in order to meet the ever-changing educational demands of the students and teachers who use it on a daily basis. In addition to the FACS classes, the room is also used for the recently added Food Science class. As the only room in the main building that functions as both a kitchen and classroom, this space provides a means to incorporate food and cooking into the curriculum of other departments. The summer program has used the kitchen facilities as a way to expand and enhance leaning in a hands on environment.

  • Campbells Sean Munnelly Dominates

    at Invitationalby Phillip Nichols

    The Campbell Cougars track team traveled to Penacook for the Merrimack Valley Invitational on April 26. Throughout this meet a few of the Cougar athletes shined.

    Among them was Savannah Cavanaugh, senior, who in the 55-meter dash managed a sixth-place finish with a time of 13.59. Savannah was the only Lady Cougar to finish in the top 10.

    Campbell senior Ben Billings continued to ascend by pole vaulting himself into second place with a height of 11 feet 6 inches tall, while his teammate, Kian Fuertes, also a senior, vaulted 10 feet 6 inches. Kians vault placed him in fourth place.

    The Cougars 4x400 relay team, consisting of Sean Munnelly (junior), Sam Munnelly (sophomore), Lee Nordyke (senior) and Ryan Perigny (senior) ran a time of 3:45.1 giving them a fourth-place finish.

    The spotlight was on Sean Munnelly in both the 800-meter and 1600-meter races. Sean defeated everyone in the 800 meter, with a time of 1:58.98. He also took first place in the 1600 meter with a time of 4:32.06. As if these two races were not enough, Munnelly ran the anchor leg of the 4x400 meter relay earning the Campbell Cougars fifth place.

    The Cougars will be participating at Inter-Lakes on Tuesday, May 6, where they hope to continue to improve both individually and as a team.

    by Marc AyotteThe Bronco baseball team jumped into the

    win column on April 24 in convincing fashion as they pounded out 11 hits and capitalized on four opposition errors on the way to a 12-2 thrashing of Timberlane in the merci-shortened, game.

    Derek Hudson was splendid on the hill, picking up his first, as well as the teams first win on the young season. Hudson went the necessary five innings, limiting Timberlane (4-2) to 1 earned run on three hits while fanning six.

    Four days later, the Broncos made it back-to-back wins, and improved to 2-3 after Tyler Brown took to the mound; firing a dazzling three-hitter of his own while striking out eight in a 3-0 blanking

    of host Bishop Guertin. At home against the Owls,

    a first-inning single from Matt McKinley followed by a double to right from Tyler Brown put runners in scoring position. D. Hudson helped himself out at the plate when his double to center field scored both McKinley and Brown for a 2-0 lead. Single runs by Timberlane in each of the second and fourth innings knotted the score at two apiece, setting the stage for Alvirne to erupt for eight runs in the home half of the fourth.

    Mixed among a host of Owl errors were a few timely Bronco hits. Andrew Teagues single-plated D. Hudson for a 4-2 score, and then McKinley singled to right, scoring Teague for a 5-2 advantage. After adding two more runs, Robbie Flohrs two-bagger to left field scored T. Brown to make it 8-2 before Cam Blake walked with the bases loaded for an easy RBI and a 9-2 cushion. After another run in the fourth, D. Hudson put the finishing touches on the Owls with his fifth-inning hard ground ball single to right that scored Dan Brown with the games final run.

    In addition to D. Hills stellar performance on the mound, he led the Broncos at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a double, four RBI and a run scored. Also aiding in the Alvirne double-digit hit attack were Flohr (2-2, 2B, RBI, run), McKinley (2-3, RBI, 3 runs), Dan Brown (2-3, 2 runs), Tyler Brown (1-3, dbl, 2 runs) and Teague who went 1-3 with a run scored and a run batted in.

    At Holman Stadium on April 28, the first inning was once again key in the Broncos win over the Cardinals. A Robbie Flohr single to center, plated Tyler Brown with the only run he would need in silencing BG in the Houses of Cards. In the bottom of the third with a runner on first, AHS centerfielder Anthony Cestrone turned in a web gem,

    tracking down a deep fly ball and then going horizontal to rob BGs Damphousse of certain extra bases along with keeping the Cards off the board. I just wanted to keep it in front of me, I just went to get it, recalled a humble Cestrone.

    In the top of the sixth, the Broncos added a couple of insurance runs. After a textbook bunt by Flohr (2-for-3) past the pitcher on the third base side loaded the bases, T. Brown scored his second run of the game on a wild pitch, making it 2-0. With the infield drawn in, Greg Emanuelson hit a soft liner over the shortstop to score D. Hudson and close out the scoring on the day. Brown retired the side easily in the bottom of the seventh to record the complete game shutout.

    by Phillip NicholsOn April 25, the Campbell

    Cougars Baseball team (3-1) took to the field, against the Bow Falcons (1-1) with perfect weather conditions and walked away with a 7-0 win on their home field.

    Both teams made very few mistakes in the early innings. Up until the fifth inning, the game was knotted at 0-0. Connor Sahlin, senior pitcher, was looking to pitch a shutout game and was doing just that after five quality innings.

    At the bottom of the fifth, the Cougars bats came alive. Kyle Shaw hit a double which drove in a run and in the same inning, senior shortstop Christian Bourgea took advantage of a rally that had two Cougars on base, as he stepped to the plate. Bourgea hit a home run down the first base line driving in both runners. The inning ended with the score 4-0.

    In the bottom of the sixth inning, Falcon pitcher Nate Corriveau made a mistake, and junior Zach Byers drove in two more runs. As if pitching a near-perfect game was not enough, Sahlin took to the plate and hit a home run of his own, making the score 7-0. The sixth inning ended with the Bow Falcons down 7-0.

    Sahlin returned to the mound and completed his day by getting the last three Bow batters out. All in all, Sahlin threw just 83 pitches, allowing just two hits, and striking out nine batters in the victory.

    Coach Gorham commented after the game that Connor Sahlin, threw less than 90 pitches in his last two starts. He is an outstanding pitcher. Coach also stated that Bourgea is one of the best hitters he as seen in a long time.
